I hadn't seen this "coiled hair" version before, but one thing jumps out at me -- there should be a period before the "3", like there is before the "7" around the rim. The spacing and the size of the lettering looks a little off as well -- the "S"s, "G" and "3" are bigger than the "A" and "7"s, for example.
Unfortunately, the "typewriter style" font used on the obverse pretty much confirms it a counterfeit - the differences between this type and the typeface used on the actual coin are stark.
Ah thanks for your help that's what I figured but it got VB me interested in coins. I would just like to know who it belonged to at one time and we where and who we would h as be gotten one out n these parts know what I mean?and o we f I'd it get where it got.. thank u
When examining any modern coin that has a portrait, look carefully at the facial features and compare with a clear image of a known genuine example.
To do this, it is even a good idea to put the image of both coins alongside each other on a computer screen to the same scale, so that visual comparison becomes much easier.
We are all programmed from birth to develop a strong ability recognize facial features; that is important to our survival, both as babies and as grown adults. It can be put to good use to help in the detection of fakes.
